"This course really helped me stay focused in big matches. I would not have been able to beat two players I had previously lost to without the techniques in this program. I was able to think about playing the ball and not focus on the score, which helped me play loose and play my best when it counted most."
- Caroline Pozo
"Jeff’s focus course helped me stay positive and feel more in control. Now when my mind wanders I am able to refocus it on the task at hand quickly. Understanding that our thoughts create our feelings and behavior has helped me focus on what is relevant and I am winning more than ever."
